In March, WIFI hosted networking events in Chicago and at the Southwestern Fastener Association’s spring conference in Houston. WIFI also hosted an event in April at the Southeastern Fastener Association in Birmingham, Ala., where a group gathered to talk about how to support WIFI and its mission. WIFI’s ambassador program hosts regional events for women interested in strengthening their connections in the industry. WIFI will host a table at the MWFA Fastener Expo in Chicago this month and host a booth at the NIFMS/Vegas show in October, where the annual speaker series and networking event will also be held. For more information, please visit the events page on the fastenerwomen.com website. WIFI’s mission is to provide opportunities for women in the fastener industry, at all levels of experience, to unite in order to educate, mentor and encourage one another, for the express purpose of advancing women in the fastener industry. WIFI is starting a mentoring program for members who are seeking guidance in the fastener industry. It’s a great opportunity for women who are new to the industry to gain knowledge, or for veterans who want to learn about new technologies or want a confidential ear. Visit the WIFI website for applications for membership, the mentoring program and the Edith Cameron Scholarship, which provides funds for educational programs in the fastener industry.
